Hello,

My clownfish over the past week has developed a white spot on his face, just to the inside of his right eye, and his left eye looks rather swollen (seems like a translucent film almost over his eye). First image shows the eye and the second shows the white spot on his face. This is a new tank and he is eating well. Any ideas on the issue / treatment? I dosed some epsom salt for his eye earlier today. I assumed it was popeye, but since there is also a white spot between his eyes I'm starting to think it could be something else. Let me know your thoughts. PH=7.8, Salinity=1.026, Temp=77.9, Ammonia/Nitrite=0, Nitrate=10.

The angles in pics makes it a little hard to focus on entire fish but appears to be brooklynella which is typical with clowns
Is fish eating and breathing normal or is appetite reduced with faster breathing and occasional listless behavior?
A freshwater dip will offer it some temporary relief
